Cause Ethan made a fool of himself?

If Ethan made a fool of himself he wouldn't have acknowledged his mistakes and ignored it.

He did the right thing by making that statement.

It's definitely a good thing he acknowledged that he was wrong but that's just standard practice for any legitimate journalist.

How does coming in richard swinging about fact checking without you know actually checking his facts not make him look like a fool? 

[Nonnel]

fake news can get away with it, they get away with it for Annoying Orange.

""fake news"" didn't cause any provable damage to Annoying Orange or his campaign
it'd probably be easier to argue that it cost clinton the election, especially considering how hard you cling to it

I think his mistake was that he knows youtube titles with monday in it can't be monetized but somehow it actually got claimed. still wrong but less wrong maybe??

Also even though it was claimed it still didn't make almost any money, which still doesn't add up with the value of the advertisements that they claim played on the video.

regardless of the legitimacy of the photo evidence, I'd like to know who that one handicap is who would associate something like Coca Cola with extremist content because "OMG it played before an extremist video!!"

it's still free exposure regardless

Fake news tried to get hillary to win and still trying to discredit Annoying Orange.

Nobody associates ads with the videos they watch, that's just big companies being dumb because they can. Honestly I would just boycott any company dumb enough to boycott YouTube/Google for providing a platform for free speech.

YouTube is no longer the primary output platform for Ethan and Hila at h3h3productions. They've left for Twitch amidst the "Adpocalypse" after pretty much all their recent videos got demonetized. They'll still post on their channel, but it'll be nowhere near as frequent as before (from three times a week at least to once a week tops).

Above is their "farewell" video of sorts. They do their usual shtick of holding YouTube accountable, and paint a dark picture of other people's futures on the platform. Expect Filthy Frank and those like him to jump ship too.

"H3H3 loving leaves" is not even remotely accurate if you actually watch the video
Nor is "YouTube is no longer their primary output platform"
Nor is "They've left for twitch"

"Goodbye YouTube" is a direct quote from the thumbnail of the loving video

while they're not "leaving" YouTube, it's not going to be the same content, it's going to be watered-down happy smiley-face vlogs on their secondary channel because those are the only videos that get money

they're posting their other vlogs on Twitch

as for the main channel they haven't really elaborated what's going to be posted there but judging from what they're planning to do with it currently (reduce video output dramatically) there's a good chance it's basically going to die off (if it isn't already dead)

I never mentioned that though...

Here's what's happening:
- They're continuing as as they have before on the Ethan and Hila channel, maybe more frequently.
- They're reducing the number of videos on the main channel because of the lack of ad revenue, they have not mentioned anything at all or made any implication of it "dying."
- They're opening a third channel that will have their weekly interviews on it.
- They'll be doing the interviews live on Twitch every Thursday, I forget what time.

They are not "loving leaving," YouTube is still seems to be their primary money maker as of now (With twitch supplementing it, and there's a chance for the return of the Patreon), and they're certainly not "leaving for Twitch." That's all, just a few corrections.

I hope WSJ just dies already..

This, This times ten, along with all the TV News Medias.
TV is Dying, and they might as well loving go too.
Netflix and Youtube and the internet will replace the archaic setting that is Television.
TV restricts you to watching on THEIR terms and THEIR channels and THEIR content at THEIR times.
The internet has either very little or no restrictions on par to the TV's restrictive ability.

They may try to control it, they may try to hold back this mighty beast, but the internet is
no mere system, it is a far reaching, expansive network, without any restrictions or insanity that
TV has made.  The People are in control on The Internet.

Keep an eye out, Germany is already trying to make pepple get "licenses" to make youtube videos.

TV isn't going away you loving handicap
